Since its release on the XBox 360 Live Arcade in 2009, "Minecraft" has sold over three million copies on the XBLA alone and has spawned a myriad of versions and imitators. With no set goals, the sandbox game essentially allows players to create their own worlds.

Players use blocks to design elaborate structures during the day and at night, enemies the likes of skeletons, spiders and even zombies attack your creations. Able to be played in a variety of modes with multiplayer options, the game quickly became a huge hit. References in other video games such as "Borderlands II" and "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim," as well as "South Park" have ensured its place in pop culture. And with over 100 million users, it's safe to say "Minecraft" is as popular as "Grand Theft Auto" and "World of Warcraft."
